Additional Information 2018 was only our second Ciderfest,and the feedback we heard was that it was <br />extremely well planned and the feedback from ciderhouses,publications and others <br />in the industry has been entirely positive.Many of them now have WindFall on their <br />radar as having a capable team with good support from the Ellensburg/Kittitas <br />County community. <br />There are several connections which have been identified that we will strengthen in <br />the next planning process,and be able to take advantage of with more time and <br />organization.But interest has been documented and the willingness of people <br />to step out for such a memory-making getaway event is proven. <br />Attached is Chinook Entertainment's proposal for 2020. <br />This event is designed to highlight the agricultural environment that is not only <br />Kittitas County but all of Central Washington.It draws attention to smaller family <br />farms,and the increasingly diverse ways that our rural nature is sustained by <br />producing orchard commodities in a newer ways (that are actually really old). <br />Cider is indeed trending,with a growing audience who support the market because: <br />they like the flavor;they like the variety of flavors;they like that it's locally made; <br />they like that small orchards are getting a new lease on life;they like a frosty adult <br />beverage on a hot day (and they're maybe a little tired of beer);they are avoiding <br />gluten;they are focused on buying organic/local;they want to try making it <br />themselves;they want to share it with others. <br />The music has also proven to be a great draw.Roots Music across the region <br />continues to have a loyal audience,and in fact,attendance at Chinook <br />Entertainment festivals is increasing. <br />https://www.dailyrecordnews.com/outdoors/keen-connects-windfall-cider-fest-and- <br />roots-music-is-aboutlarticle_5d78b6f8-8126-5756-9c08-2681d3168ac1.html <br />2500 character lirrit <br />Supporting Documents You rmy upload any supporting docurrents such as graphs,irmges,diagrarm,rrerketing rmterials,etc. <br />2020 Cider Event_Option B.pdf 160.29KB <br />One week away email-WindFall.pdf 56.96KB <br />final poster.pdf 2.96MB <br />You are allowed to subtrit up to 3 single page (tJS Letter)docurænts in JFU FU¯or TlFFforrmt <br />7|Previous Lodging Tax Grant Information <br />Previous Years Has your event received Lodging Tax funds in previous years? <br />Awarded Lodging Tax C No,this event/project has not previously received Lodging Tax Funding.Grants*C Yes,1 year previous <br />O Yes,2 years previous <br />O Yes,3 or more years previous <br />How many participants and spectators attended last year's activity and/or will attend <br />this year? <br />Prior Year Projected * <br />500 1,000 <br />How many days did/will your event occur?
